I wrapped a rubber band around the end of the fishtail braid and turned off the light. To be honest, right now it wasn’t a very long day. Okay, maybe for Izumo it was. Why, you ask. It’s because some ’72 high school batch had a reunion at his bar and they ordered a lot. So, when he closed the bar he just crashed on one of the booths and fell asleep. I turned off the lamp by my side and went to sleep.
(Hana’s dream)
I woke up from a bad dream and looked around the room. The room was covered in stuffed animals and glow in the dark stars with moons and animals. It might have been a flashback. I was already trembling in fear. I walked out the room and saw that I was in my old house. It really was a flashback. I looked at my clothes; I was wearing pink pajamas with white sheep everywhere. I again looked at my hands; they were hands of a six-year old. The most awkward thing was when I looked at my hair. It was a ginger colored, curly hair. I did my best to walk into my parents’ room and looked around. It looked better than what I remembered.
“Mommy, daddy, I had a bad dream”
Those words suddenly came out of my mouth without me knowing. My dad finally stood up and looked at me. He looked like Yata. He had the same ginger hair as mine. He rubbed his eyes and moved a little bit away from the person he was asleep with.
“Come sleep with mommy and me then”
That couldn’t be him. It was impossible. And who was his wife even? The little girl that became the person that held my POV must’ve been his daughter towards the woman who he will marry in the future.
“C’mon Sakura, you can sleep with us tonight”
(Reality)
I woke up from the dream and stroked a hand through my hair making it stop at the end of the braid. I took off the rubber band from my hair and looked out the window. The sun was already out, my phone hasn’t alarmed yet so it wasn’t five o’clock in the morning yet. I took a shower and changed into my usual clothes to visit the pub. Before I could go out the condo, I grabbed an apple from the table and the keys that Izumo gave to me for emergencies when I need to get in the pub really early. I bit into the apple and went out the building. When I arrived, I saw Izumo still fast asleep on the booth. I alarmed my phone for five minutes and put it beside his ear before sitting on the seat in front of the counter. The phone suddenly rang alive making him wake up in shock.
“Stop trying to destroy my organs okay, first my lungs now my eardrums. What’s next, my stomach?”
“If you want your heart to go first why not”
He scoffed before combing his hair with his fingers and going into the restroom.
“Mind if you watch over the bar for a while, I’m just gonna take a shower at my condo and rush back as fast as I can”
“Yeah, I wouldn’t mind”
He smiled and went back inside before I could hear the water run on the sink. I went inside and saw him washing his face with the toothbrush in his hand. After he did his routine, he went out the restroom and walked towards the door. Before he could leave he asked me to go near him. When I did, he just kissed me on the cheek and soon walked out. I put my hand towards the place where he kissed me before putting the red ponytail wig on and then closed the door. I’m putting on a wig because I have a bad feeling somebody that isn’t Homra will come straight here and fight with me. Before I could close it, somebody put their foot in the middle to stop me from closing it.
“Sorry, but it’s not open yet”
“I could see that, but I need to have a word with Misaki”
